Roberto Mancini aware of Dembele threat

According to HITC, Zenit St. Petersberg manager Roberto Mancini believes that Moussa Dembele will be Celtic’s biggest threat ahead of their clash in the Europa League this week.

The former Manchester City manager will be taking his Russian League side to Celtic Park on Thursday for the first leg of the tie which excited many when the draw for the round of 32 was made.

With 41 goals and 15 assists for Celtic in 74 appearances, there is a clear reason as to why Mancini has singled out the Frenchman as a massive threat to his side.

Mancini praised Dembele highly when he said:

I like him as a player. I knew about him when he was at Fulham. He’s still young, but he’s a good player. He still needs to improve, but he will. I expect him to be Celtic’s main threat on Thursday.

When both sides meet this Thursday, it is expected to be a cracker, with the passion of both fans behind their respective sides who both play a great style of football.
